63 Major problems facing rhino in South Africa Land availability Poaching Specific requirements Capacity Perimeter fence Increase incidence Costly security Land availability Poaching

64 Rhino poaching Increasing Unsustainable 2016 (Ferreira et al 2012)

65 Rhino horn Anatomy Keratin No bony core Uses Hieronymus, Witmer, and Ridgely Journal of Morphology

66 Efforts against rhino poaching Efforts relating to the environment Security measures Efforts relating to the animal Translocation Increase rate of reproduction Find safer areas? Horn adulteration? Dehorning Conventional Surgical? Markus Hofmeyr

67 Dehorning of rhino Why do rhinos have horns? Population dynamics Reproductive fitness Protection - predators

68 Fate of calves? Rhino calves Killed Orphans Nuisance Horn stump Dies of natural causes Hand reared Introduced back into the wild Habituated animals Exported Dies of natural causes/disease Value in terms of conservation of the species?

69 Can these calves NOT play a role in terms of the conservation of the species? Capital expenditure Food (15k/month) Veterinary care Facilities Time expenditure 18 months

70 Permanent removal of rhino horn Not routinely done at the moment Consequence of poaching Disease or trauma Renders the animal hornless lifelong Offspring horned!

71 Dehorning of orphaned rhino calves Orphans from various geographic areas Removal of horn bed in toto Burning unpredictable and ethics? Hieronymus et al Journal of Morphology

72 Rostral (front) horn

73 Caudal (back) horn

75 Horn deformations Poor quality Nutrition? Stress?

76 Construction of a herd/s Dehorned orphans to go to a secure location Responsible rehabilitation Construction of herds Lesson on delinquents (males) Utilising poached individuals Rehome dehorned rhinos

77 Space for dehorned rhinos Priotrity rhino protection zones SANDF Provincial parks Game farms Intra specific Inter specific

78 Ownership? A national asset? Private ownership - Trust What will happen to offspring?

79 Contribution to the conservation of the species? Education Range extension Animals in a low risk group that can be used for introductions (Genetic banking)

80 Research NB! Steps needed Describe histo-anatomy of horn growth Formalise surgical technique Apply for AEC approval Potential cases from Freestate NC Start with young individuals Pain relief? Antibiotics? Herd structure Herd integration Behaviour Delinquents
